Update: Within hours of posting an image of a “Jane Doe” suspected of engaging in sex acts with a child in a pornography video, Homeland Security Investigations received tips that led to the woman's arrest.

“There is nothing more satisfying than knowing that, due to these efforts, a child is now safe and her tormentor now in custody," U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton said in a statement. The agency had released the photo as a last-ditch measure after other leads had been exhausted.

Motley is being held without bail.

Federal officials are seeking help from the public to find a woman suspected of producing a child porn video - as well as a young victim who appears in it.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement described the effort as not only one to arrest the woman, who is believed to be in her mid- to late 20s, but also to "rescue the victim," whose identity has not been determined.

At the center of the case is a video that officials say shows the woman engaged in explicit sexual conduct with the victim, who appears to be aged 4 or 5.

Authorities believe the woman lives somewhere in the United States.

A “Jane Doe” arrest warrant was issued for the woman on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Washington, only the second such warrant obtained by ICE's child-exploitation investigations unit this year.
